THE GARDEN ISLAND, TUESDAY, JULY 20. 1913
HEALTH BOARD ON HOW TO-SHIP
I
URERCULOSIS
Interesting Report Compiled
By Board's Special
Bureau
The following news letter of the
Anti-Tuberculosis Bureau of the
Bonrd of Health contains a num
ber of items of interest to Kauai
people: , ;
Compiling reports on all anti
tuberculosis work being done
throughout the United States, the
tuberculosis 'bureau of the Board
of Health is gradually obtaining a
complete survey of this important
cathpaUjn with the view of using it
as a cluck in the local work. So far
very few systems have been noted
surpassing the local organization
in scope and routine. One of the
latest issued is the "ideal" scheme
of anti tuberculosis work publish
ed by Burt F. Howard, M. D, ,
director of the Tuberculosis Bu
reau of the California State Board
of Health, in the bulletin of that
organization. Doctor Howard bases
his eirlit items o n the modern
theory that most tuberculosis is
contrat ted in childhood and de
veloped to serious proportions later
in life. The following are his
ideas, eich one being followed by
a note on the status of the Hawaii
campaign in the same matter.
1, Ojen' air schools for all chil
dren. Until openair schools can
be built let all schools 'be conduct
ed on the open air principle and
make special provision for the
most di licate childieh, such a s
frequent intermissions and rest
periods.
Note: The Department of Pub
lic Instruction is reporting an in
crease of open-air schools, while
the program o f . the tuberculosis
bureau for this year calls for a sys
tematic campaign, so far as funds
will permit for the detection ot
tuberculosis in school children.
2. Physical examination cf all
pupils and teachers for tubercu
losis.
Note: - This is conpulsorv by law
in Hawaii. Tuberculous teachers
cannot teach in, and tuberculous
children cannot attend any public
or private school.
3. Investigation of the home
conditions of all children exposed
to tuberculosis by association with
open cases of tuberculosis. This
could be brought about by system
atic public health nursing which
also attempts to remedy insanitary
conditions when found.
Note: The special reports of the
local tuberculosis bureau on home
conditions are now on a par with
the finest in the country. . The
children in tuberculous families
particularly in Honolulu, are ex
amined at set intervals by the
Bureau to detect incipient tuber
culosis. The nursing system, which
was extenciea on uiv 1st, now
covers the Territory from one end
to the other.
4. Preventoria for delicate chil
dren or sanatoria for tuberculous
children when necessary.
Note: The local campaign lacks
both of these. The nearest ap
proach to them is a school for tu
berculous children i n Henolulu
where scientific treatment is giv
en. The Bureau believes, however
that institutional treatment of verv
young children is detrimental as
borne out by recent investigations
on this subject.
5. Instruction of all children in
hygiene, including breathing ex
erciaes. .
Note: This is a special point
made by the Department of Public
Instruction.
6. An adequate food supply free
from tuberculosis, particularly bo
vine.
Note: The campaign against tu
berculosis by the department of
sericulture in Hawaii is noted over
the United States. No communi
ty's milk is as free from tuberculo
sis as that of Honolulu.
7. Sanitary housing.
JVote: 1 he board ot health is
bringing to a clfmax a three-year
campaign for improvement under
this head, throughout the entire
Territory.
8. Proper control of occupation
out of school with sufficient rest
Note: 1 lie local bnreau lias no
data on this point and has made
no special study of it. It does,
however, keep a most careful sup
ervision of tuberculosis children
in and out of school.
PINEAPPLES TO
T
COS
MARKETS
THE GREAT FAIR
By J. M. Lydgate
The marketting Division, at Ho
nolulu, has made all arrangements
for shipping fresh pineapples, in
crates, from the Islands to points
on the Pacific Coast and even far
ther erst. For the information of
growers, wisning to try this plan
of marketting, the following in
structions are published:
1. 1. All pineapples shipped
through the Division must be pick
ed, graded, packed and shipped
under the supervision of an agent
of the Division who shall have
absolute authority Jio reject any
fruit which he considers unfit for
shipment.
2. Two Division will furnish at
cost all crates, nails, excelsior.
paper, and labor for making crates
and packing the fruit. The Divi
sion will also make arrangements
for packing sheds, for hauling
packing material to the shed from
the railroad, and the packed pine
apples from the shed to the freight
depot. Each producer will furnish
the labor for picking and teams for
hauling his own pines from his
fields to the packing house.
3. The above mentioned expen
ses together with freight from ship
ping point to Honolulu, cartage to
steamer, if any, and freight to San
Francisco will be dedu ted on the
accounfsales.
4. All crates of pineapples will
be marked with the size, as 16
65,'', the sliipment number, the
grower's number, the packer's num
ber and the inspector's number. On
the inside of the crate will be a
printed request that tht purchaser
nmtify the Division, giving the
numbers, if the contents of the
crates are not entirely satisfactory.
5 Records will be kept by the
agent at each packing house and
at the office in Honolulu to show
how many pineapples each grower
has furnished; The agent will dis
tribute the orders for pines among
the growers who have not supplied
their share. All growers will be en
titlecf to ship an equal percentage
of their respective crops.
6. An effort will be made to keep
records showing the name, number
and address of each grower, to
gether with the acreage in pine
apples, estimated yield of different
sizes in plant crop, first, second
and third ratoons, nature of soil
whether land is level or hillside,
and estimated annual rainfall. A
map of each district showing the
boundaries of each growers land
and the acreage in pines should be
kept.
6. All the pineapples of one size
shipped from a district during
set time should be pooled and the
net returns for each size divided
equally among the shippers. For
this reason it will be advisable for
all the producers in a district to
form a grower's association and ap
point a representative to keep in
touch with the work of shipping
pineapples
8. All the books and records of
the Division will be open to inspec
tion at any time and it will be the
policy of the Division to keep the
growers in touch with every phase
of the work. A separate consign
ment book and series of receipts
will be kept for fresh pineapples
for shipment to the coast. When a
grower delivers a load of truit at
the packing house ths agent will
give him a receipt for his fruit, a
record being made at the time as
to condition and size. When all his
pineapples have been packed for
that shipment he will be given
credit for the number of cases of
each size of his fruit to be shipped.
If any pineapples are rejected for
any reason a record will be kept
and a memorandum given the
grower at the time.
The estimated expenses of ship
ping pines to the coast per ton are
as follows:
30 10-13 crates which is a
tou Uii .25
Excelsior and paper
Labor and packing
Freight to San Francisco
Fumigation

To this must be added freight
from the prower to the depot in
Honolulu.
(Continued from last week.)
No-where were the qualities of
skillful advertising shown more
strikingly or interestingly than in
the food products building. For
instance, there was the Sperry
flour exhibit, which included a
complete flour mill, running all
the time, and more impressive
still the actual making of the va
rious viands into which flour goes,
pies, cakes, bread, doughnuts, etc.,
that were dealt out to the interest
ed observer or sold to him for a
trifle for his lunch. To make it
more interesting and picturesque,
object lesson demonstration showed
how Sperry flour was used in
strange countries the wide world
over-in Norway, India, China,
Africa, etc., each foreign user
being in appropriate costume and
apparently the real thing.
The redoubtable Hteinz with his
57 varieties was very much to the
front in a generous booth out of
which rose a great revolving pyra
mid 50 to 60 ft. high made up in
tiers, of his various varieties, res
plendent in every color of the rain
bow.
Around it there were attractive
and glib-tongued ladies deftly
dealing out samples, free; open
your mouth and a savory pickle
was, deposited by dainty fingers on
your tongue. Then it was a little
paper thimble of soup, then a sal
ad dressing on an oyster cracker,
then a taste of spiced vinegar
Why you could make a meal there
if your stomach would stand it. and
you couldn't resist the invitation
to give them an order for some
one, or all, of the 57 viands. No
you wouldn't get the things on the
spot, that isn't allowed; they
would send them to your home,
through your grocer which kills
two birds with one stone.
I expect Lihue Store will be
flooded with Hein'z literature and
importunings to stock up with their
goods. These were the two forms
that caught the public eye where
they did things, and where they
gave samples.
But there were other successful
forms of securng public attention
With many exhibits there were in
teresting moving picture shows,
nicely fitted up little theatre being
part ot the exhibit, in which per
haps continuous shows were given
illustrating the growth, or mar.u
facture, or advantages of the pro
duct. In connection with other
exhibits there were recitals, band
concerts, orchestras, vocal con
certs, all four of course to draw
and interest the crowd.
On the whole tlfarm aster piece in
this line of effective advertising
as well as on the whole the finest
exhibit was the Canadian Building
which takes first prize. It in
eludes the ordinary passive exhi
bits of grain and ore, and lumber
and all that sort of thing to which
nobody pays much attention. But
in addition in all directions there
were magnificent panoramas run
ning out as into open courts show
mg the industries of the country
and suggesting the unbounded re
source? of Canada.
Real, live beavers in the fore
ground busily engaged in building
their dams and their ponds and in
the back ground a marvelous pic
torial presentation of the lakes
rivers, forests and mountains of
that great land.
In another place it would be the
great wheat country of the north
west reaching far out to the hori
zon while in the foreground there
would be a miniature railway sys
tern with actual trains running all
day long loading carefully, car by
car. at the great elevators, all o
course going automatically.
lhere were orchard lawns on
which British Columbia apples
were piled up here and there un
der the trees such apples as
would make the teeth of the an
gels of Heaven water. I had hard
wrk to restrain my wife from
jumping the railing to get at them.
And at every turn on the walls
there were placard posters setting
forth the resources and advantages
of Canada, yet all in a fine spirit
of courtesy, remembering that they
were guests of the united states
and must be nice to their hosts.
It was "after vou Uncle Sara1''
have left myself no time for that
feature of the fair which I parti-
:ularly wished to emphasized, viz
the educational,
It has dawned on a great many
nterests. with a message that this
is the largest auditorium in the
world with untold possibilities of
influence. The consequence is
that thev have sought a hearing,
and the better to facilitate the
delivery of their message one great
building is given over to them and
abelled education. ,
It is of course largely given up
to education in the technical sense
but includes a great deal that is
education, in the broader sense
There is for instance an elaborate
government exhibit including a
working postoffice working fish
enes. The Panama Canal with
working models of dredges, steam
shovel, etc., army and navy exhi
bits showing everything from kha
ki pants to submarines and torpe
does, lhere is a series of very
suggestive exhibit illustrative of
race betterment, eugenics, social
hvgiene, sanitation, typhoid fever,
tuberculosis, hook worm, etc. This
last installed and conducted by
the Rockefeller institute was very
graphic, and very conuincing.
With life size models of the vic
tims of the disease with all the
symptoms, all so graphic and so
gruesome, that I was glad to get
away from it for I was sure my
wife would soon attribute the dis
ease to me. It is very much to
be desired that some of these ex
hibits with the epigrammatic liter
ature that goes with them could
be widely circulated and that some
of it might reach these islands.
At every turn th s the op
portunity for the specialist or the
person who was interested in some
particular line, or some particular
subject, tor sncu a person there is
joy untold in the fair.
May I give you who contem
plate going to the fair, one simple
bit of advice. Don't do as we did
see it intelligently; get a book or
books and read up in advance
possible, so that you may know
what to look for and what to see.
And so that when you come back
you won't have to say of some of
the most important things whole
buildings of them perhaps
"why I never saw that at all; did
n't know anything about it!"
And don't waste time and money
on the Zone.
